power loss at VTEC
searched as usual - cant find a suitable answer...
my S seems to run absolutely fine - until it gets to about 5500 rpm - then it feels like it is losing power - get to VTEC and it thinks about it for a second then vtec comes on - then off - then on etc. same in every gear. just clocked over 50,000 miles.
checked oil - its fine
any ideas?
really worried!

wiggle the MAP sensor.. i've heard people report this problem before.. its on the right side of the engine as you look from the front of the car. once you get it working tie rap the little bugger on.. it works loose apparently

i'll give it a go - when it stops raining!
thanks
watch this space!
... the really wierd thing is that this started to happen EXACTLY at 50,000 miles! - maybe i'm being told that my S is due for retirement? - needs a rest?

Nick - he said that he has already checked the oil in his first post 
I would unplug the map sensor and give it a few sharp taps with the end of a screwdriver.
